I figured I may as well put more effort in since you made such a great list and I'm about to make mine...
Guys you have much lower than me (or not listed) that I want to put in a good word for
250. - Jordon Brown - CB - South Dakota State - 6'-0" 207 lbs - A nice size/ speed combo from the FCS. He's a bit raw as he started college as a WR. But his instincts and natural physical ability is unteachable.
I would likely draft him in at 94 ... but since I know I could get him in the 4th, I would wait.
UR Darren Hall, RB Pitt ... 5-11 220 4.40 40. I thought he was the better back between he and Ollison ... and when he is hot, he can take a game over ... reminds me of Demarco Murray in that way almost. I have him top 100.
UR Ballantine CB 6-1 200 ... Gotta mention him because he's a 5th round target.
234. Tim Harris - CB - Virginia - 6'-2" 205 lbs. - Big and instinctual, likes to get his hands dirty and mix it up a bit. lacks long speed and can get beat over the top. injury history.
Guys we agree on that the talking heads have much higher or lower
Same as Brown ... I think the value is top 100, but I would aim for the 4th to draft him.
224. Jordan Brailford - EDGE- Oklahoma State - 6'-3" 252 lbs. - Beefed up from the regular season, so is he a OLB or a 34 Edge? Explosive and fast, could use polish as a pass rusher, more strength to hold up against the run. I have him around the 100 area. Watching his postseason game was shocking. Because his assignments on OKst led me to believe he wasn't a great athlete. But when asked to purely pass rush he was unstoppable.
175. Austin Bryant - EDGE - Clemson - 6'-4" 271 lbs. - works either in a 2 point or 3 point stance, a try hard pass rusher with great length, decent athletic ability, needs coaching up. Should be stouter against the run then he is. This is one of my guys ... I went all in on him junior year and thought he'd come out. Then he put on 15 pounds and wasn't as quick around the corner. Then late in the year, game 11 or something, he tore his pec, and rather than protecting himself for the draft he played through is ... 4 games, 5.5 sacks in protective gear. If he doprs weight and can run like I think he's a top 50 guy. I could be wrong ... but Im going to be hard pressed to not have him in my top 64.
173. Mark Fields - CB - Clemson - 6'-0" 192 lbs. - sub 4.4 speed in a 6' body with loose joints. injuries and stuck behind guys on depth chart make him a bit unpolished. His senior bowl practices were crazy. I have him in round 2 right now.
165. Ryan Bates - OT - Penn State - 6'-5" 306 lbs. - I think he could be a super sub for a zbs team. He has played all over for Penn State and has decent movement skills and enough strength to play inside. I liked his tape during the year, then loved his combine. Thought he and McGovern were pretty close, edge to McGovern who is top 50 for me.
144. Isaiah Johnson - CB - Houston - 6'-2" 208 lbs. - Converted WR with ball skills. Still learning the position, so time is needed to develop, but hard to teach his size, speed (4.4) and fluidity. If he's on the board at 94 he's my pick. I have a sneaking suspicion he'll be gone before the 3rd frame. I liked his tape, and liked his senior bowl, then got wow factor from the times speed. Needs a year but could be a perennial pro bowler and I don't think the floor is that low. I have him top 50.
142. Antoine Wesley - WR - Texas Tech - 6'-4" 206 lbs. - Nice route runner for his size, solid hands and plays tough. Obviously needs to add some weight, but has a great frame for a WR. Love his upside. I can't explain what Im seeing here. I have him top 40 and I can't shake it.
Guys we agree on but the talking heads don't see it that way.
45. Marquise Brown - WR - Oklahoma - 5'-9" 166 lbs. -a HR hitter that is quick, fast and hard to get your hands on. A threat to house it every time he touches the ball. Big question: can that frame handle NFL abuse?
57. Dwayne Haskins - QB - Ohio State - 6'-3" 231 lbs. - NFL size, a good arm, overall good accuracy. Mechanics are a mess and will need to be retooled from the floor up. 1 year starter that needs time. Doesn't play well when pressured. Not a good sign.
116. David Long - LB - West Virginia - 5'-11" 227 lbs. - a tweener Big nickel backer/ 43 Will backer. Good instincts with a bit of thump and ability to drop into coverage. Lacks the size to hold up well against the run or shed effectively. Lavonte David clone for me
186. Sean Bunting - CB - Central Michigan - 6'-0" 195 lbs. - Good size, speed and is a fluid athlete. He's getting by on athletic ability alone, needs technique work.
208. Maxx Crosby - EDGE - Eastern Michigan - 6'-5" 255 lbs. - Long, athletic and highly productive, needs to add some muscle in the NFL, which makes him a ST regular with rotational edge upside. Guys are talking second round now?
210. Malik Reed - EDGE - Nevada - 6'-1" 237 lbs. - Athletic and loose limbed, high motor and high character, might suffer from tweener-itis. Is he a 34 edge or a 43 lber? I like him as a 34 edge as a situational pass rusher. Guy played lights out fast ... tweener with room to add weight.
Guys Im literally stealing your opinion on because you know them better than I do
125. Andy Isabella - WR - UMass - 5'-9" 188 lbs. - DZ special right here. He talked me into going back and looking him over. glad I did. Elite speed affords him a cushion, elite explosiveness in and out of breaks allows him separation. Can get manhandled in press coverage, but he's a fighter. Slot only, but could be extremely dangerous. in the right offense.
119. Ryan Connelly - LB - Wisconsin - 6'-2" 242 lbs. - Heady player doing his best work coming forward. ILB only, coverage isn't his strong suit.
91. David Long - CB - Michigan - 5'-11" 196 lbs. - Solid in a word. Solid speed, solid athletic profile, solid in his movement from the waist down. Nothing that wows you. An NFL weight room is going to do him wonders.
83. Dawson Knox - TE - Mississippi - 6'-4" 254 lbs. - NFL size with sneaky speed, under-used in a crowded pass catching group. Good hands with a bit of wiggle that makes him dangerous in the open field. Willing blocker.
79. Oshane Ximines - EDGE - Old Dominion - 6'-3" 253 lbs. - a one man wrecking crew at OD with a variety of pass rush moves and a high rev motor. Will need some coaching to fulfill his potential.
65. Yodny Cajuste - OT - West Virginia - 6'-5" 312 lbs. - He has power for days and is a smooth mover in space given his size. I think he works in a zone or man power blocking scheme.
51. David Edwards - OT -Wisconsin - 6'-6" 308 lbs. - Another strong, mobile OT from Wisconsin. RT or possibly RG, he is well coached but lags a bit behind because he is still transitioning from TE.
24. Nasir Adderley - S - Delaware - 6'-0" 206 lbs. - Another swiss army knife FS that can play anywhere and comes with a CB background. Physical and not afraid of contact, sideline to sideline with ball skills. FCS competition isn't much of a concern.
